Caring for the patient with cardiac disease Flashcards
Atheroslerosis aka Atherosclerotic Heart Disease (ASHD)
- coronary artery disease leads to infarction
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
(2)
- dilated ventricles with weak muscles
- thickened myocardium
Valvular disease
(3)
- stenotic and not capable of full closure for blood circulation
- lack of tonicity also leads to stenosis
- leads to CHF
Caring for the patient with cardiac disease
layman presentation
coronary artery -
heart valve -
congenital heart -
arrhythmia -
heart failure -
heart muscle -
arteries that supply oxygen and blood to the heart become narrow
one or more of the valves in the heart are not working well
children may with this disease
abnormal heart rhythm
heart does not have enough strength to pump
heart walls become thick or heart becomes enlarged
Caring for the patient with cardiac
disease
Symptoms
(10)
- General weakness
- Fatigue
- Light headedness
- Dizziness
- Fainting
- Shortness of breath with mild exertion
- Chest pain
- Palpitations
- Hypertension
- Edema of the legs and ankles
CVD Risk Factors
conditions (5)
HBP
high cholesterol
diabetes
rheumatic fever
>1 CVD
HBP (2)
- Stiffens vessels which reduces blood flow
- also a risk for stroke, kidney disease and dementia
high cholesterol
LDLs
diabetes
unstable glucose levels affect myocardium fnx; angiopathy
CVD Risk factors
behavioral (6)
unhealthy diet - Carbs, fats, caffeine, Na+
physical inactivity - poor circulation
obesity - Excess weight stresses heart function, HTN, CAD
too much alcohol - increases BP, arrythmias
tobacco use - increases HR, BP, CAD, etc
stress
family hx (3)
genetics
becoming older
ethnicity
Atherosclerotic plaques can lead to:
(2)
- ischemia
- thrombosis, (vascular blockage) if they
rupture
Atherosclerosis
* Can affect arteries of:
(5)
➢ Heart
➢ Aorta
➢ Brain
➢ Kidney
➢ Peripheral arteries
Atherosclerosis

Low Level Intervention
(6)
- Health/medical evaluation
- Exams
- Prophy
- Radiographs
- Optical oral scans
- Alginate impressions
Moderate Intervention
(4)
- SRP (scaling and root planning)
- Simple restorative procedures; 1-2 teeth
- Simple extractions; 1-2 teeth
- Restorative impressions needing retractions
and longer setting times
High Risk Intervention
(6)
- Complex restorative procedures on >2 teeth
- Multiple extractions
- Surgical extractions
- Implant placement
- Full arch impressions
- Dental care under general anesthesia
time of procedure is proportional to
risk category
The less the symptoms
and the better the
control of risk factors
THEN
- the better a patient
manages the stress
AND - the less likely the
patient will have a life
threatening incident
during a dental
procedure
The greater the symptoms
and the poorer the
control of risk factors
THEN
- the worse a patient
manages the stress
AND
the more likely the patient
will have a life threatening
incident during a dental
procedure
Hypertension (HTN):
- ?
- Depending on location of flow, it damages endothelium which leads to
(2)
- Same issue of altered flow creating risk for (3)
Stiffens vessels which reduces blood flow
clotting disorders and more infarct risk
stroke, kidney disease and
dementia
Hypertension
Increases Risk for:
(7)
- Myocardial infarction
- Stroke
- Coronary artery disease
- Peripheral artery disease
- Heart failure
- Retinopathy
- End-stage renal disease
normal bp
<120 and <80
elevated bp
120-129 and <80
HTN stage 1
130-139 or 80-89
HTN stage 2
> 140 or >90
HTN stage 3
> 180 and/or >120
